Torino: €100m Man United, Chelsea target is being massacred

Andrea Belotti is being targeted by opponents, Torino president Urbano Cairo has said.

The Granata star and 100 million striker is wanted across Europe, with the likes of Manchester United, Milan and Chelsea very interested.

Torino allowed Verona to come back from two goals down on Sunday, Belotti going down from a rough tackle. Though he hasn’t suffered ligament damage, the 23-year-old was the subject of a rant from his owner:

“In these last few games VAR has penalised us unjustly, but what I want to point out is that Belotti is being massacred,” Cairo told Radio 24.
 
“He’s constantly being roughed-up during matches, so much so that the player is injured and will have to miss the next games with the national team. I firmly believe that VAR is a great innovation, but referees have to be attentive to when to whistle.

Belotti netted a sensational 26 Serie A goals last season, adding to the 12 he scored the previous season (in the space of several months) and the three he already has in the current campaign.
